Good morning Beloved Brethren,

Topic: THE IMPORTANCE OF WAITING
Text: Read: Psalm 5:3
Daily Bible Study: Num. 29-30; Mk. 9

“My voice shall thou hear in the morning, O LORD; in the morning will I direct my prayer unto thee, and will look up” (Ps. 5:3).

When Jesus commissioned His disciples to preach the Gospel to all parts of the world, He told them to wait until the Holy Spirit had come upon them. They were to patiently wait for the empowerment of the Holy Ghost for effective ministration. This they did patiently while continuing in prayer and praises to God. From the time Prophet Nehemiah received the account from the men of Judah until he took action was a period of about four months. Nehemiah didn't rush into things. He spent time in God's presence, discerning God's will, counting the cost of obedience, and preparing himself for the challenge ahead. Waiting is a very important part of preparing ourselves for service to God.
Before you attempt great things for God, you must learn to wait for God's timing. When God says, “Wait,” He is telling us, “Be patient. I'm preparing you to attempt great things for My Kingdom.” Impatient people are usually very nervous. This nervousness leads them to often act foolishly and out of God’s will and plan. The Holy Spirit cannot occupy an impatient believer.

As God’s children, we must be willing to wait on Him. And while waiting, we should be filled with faith, not doubting and continue in praise and thanksgiving, not complaining or murmuring. When we imbibe the spirit of patience, even our normal day-to-day activities will be free of errors and we will be perfected at all we set out to do.

Prayer: Dear Lord, please teach me to be patient and learn to wait on You. Help me to completely surrender my will to You. I pray in Jesus’ name – Amen.

POLITICS (PLEASE POST YOUR OPINION) Donald Trump will tonight hand out his inaugural ‘fake news awards’ to the media outlets that have most angered him during his first year as President. The Commander in Chief announced the bizarre ceremony in a tweet late Tuesday, writing: ‘I will be announcing THE MOST DISHONEST & CORRUPT MEDIA AWARDS OF THE YEAR on Monday at 5:00 o’clock. ‘Subjects will cover Dishonesty & Bad Reporting in various categories from the Fake News Media. Stay tuned!’ President Trump has been most vociferous in attacking CNN for its supposed ‘fake news’, with the network widely expected to win the majority of gongs. The awards are likely to be ‘handed out’ in a series of scathing tweets from Mr Trump, and it is unclear whether he will present winners with any sort of booby prize. He popularized the term fake news during his White House run, using it to attack reports whose facts he disputes. But Trump’s critics claim it is an easy way of shouting down va...
JANUARY 14, 2019 Left home around 6am and picked up Isaac at Itamaga. Left for Benin through Ijebu Ode. Arrived Benin around 10.30am. Very smooth drive. All marketing activities today went so well. Checked into the hotel with Isaac around 5.30pm. Worked on my report for today and caught up on my blog.
FEBRUARY 01, 2019 Thank God its Friday! Tate joined me in my car as I drove to work. I dropped him off at 7up bus stop, Lagos-Ibadan Expressway. He was heading for his company headquarters at Ajao Estate. I got to work early enough. Not very comfortable because I did not exactly carry out my duties properly yesterday. I eventually defended my activities in the meeting presided by the MD. I left with Dare in our separate cars for Iyare Transport Company to Waybill Oxide pigments heading for Benin to Golden Julirose. Joined the the brethren who visited the Old People's Home at the location. We sang and prayed with the old people and rounded up at 6pm. I left with Tobi to pick up Tate at Itamaga and drop off Tobi at her residence in Itamaga. Drove home with Tate. Hung about at B-Lounge with Tate later in the night. Took 2 bottles of beer and a plate of pepper soup each. Bought a plate of pepper soup as 'take away' for Ify.
